[C]
[F] [C]
[Am] I tried to pick my [C] battles till the battle [F] picked me.
[C] Misery, [Am] like the war of [G] words I shouted [F] in my sleep.
[C] You passed [Am] right by, I was in [C] the alley [G] surrounded on [F] all sides.
[C] The knife cuts [Am] both ways if you shoot it, [C] swatting it till your [F] eyes break.
And [C] I fell from the pedestal [Am] right down the rabbit hole.
[G] Long story short, it was [F] a bad time.
[C] Pushed from the precipice, [Am] clung to the nearest lips.
[C] Long story short, it was the [F] wrong guy.
[C] I'm all about [Am] you.
[G] I'm all about [C] your life.
[F] Yeah, [G] yeah.
[C] I'm all about your life.
[F] Yeah, [Em] yeah.
[C] [F] [C] Actually, I always felt I must [Gm] look better in the [F] rear view.
[C] Missing me [Am] at the golden [D] gates they once held the [F] keys to.
[C] When I dropped my sword, threw it in the [G] bushes and knocked on [F] your door.
[C] We live in [Am] peace, but if someone [G] comes at us this time I'm [F] ready.
Cause I [C] fell from the pedestal right [Am] down the rabbit hole.
[G] Long story short, it was a [F] bad time.
[C] Pushed from the precipice, [Am] clung to the nearest lips.
Long [G] story short, it was the [F] wrong guy.
[C] I'm all about [Am] you.
[G] I'm all about [C] your life.
[F] Yeah,
[C] yeah.
I'm all about [Am] you.
[Em] No more [Dm] keeping score, now [Am] I just keep you warm.
[Em] No more [F] tug of war, now [G] I just know there's [Am] more.
[Em] No more [Dm] keeping score, now [Am] I just keep you warm.
[Em] My waves meet [Fm] your shore, ever [G] and ever [F] more.
[C] Past me, I wanna tell you not to [G] get lost in these petty [F] things.
Your [C] nemeses will defeat themselves [G] before you get the chance [F] to swing.
[C] And he's passing [Am] by, rare as the glimmer [G] of a comet in the [F] sky.
[C] And he feels like [Am] home, his shoe fits, [C] walking it everywhere you go.
And I fell [F] from the pedestal right [C] down the rabbit hole.
Long story short, it was a bad time.
[F] Pushed from the precipice, climbed [Em] right back up the cliff.
Long [C] story short, I survived.
[F] I'm all about [C] you.
I'm all about your life.
[F] I'm all about [Em] you.
[C] I'm all about your life.
[F] Yeah, [C] yeah.
I'm all about you.
I'm [F] all about you.
Yeah,
[C] yeah.
I'm all about you.
[Dm] [C]
[Am] Long [C] story short, it was a [F] bad [C] time.
[Am] Long [G] story short, I survived.
